If this decision is to protect the forum, I believe that no matter how difficult it is, it should be taken.
Indeed, even if unfairly, the authorities are attacking the mixers on all fronts, the forum could be affected. Therefore, the best way to keep the forum neutral is to avoid any connection to mixers - even in a completely indirect way.
- Going forward, directing people to mixers in new posts/edits will be totally disallowed, and doing so could lead to a ban. Many mixer URLs will be wordfiltered-out, and if
you bypass the wordfilter, then that'll definitely be ban-worthy.
I would just like to see this point clarified. What is considered directing someone to a mixer?
If someone says:
"We can use a mixer to break your connection"
"There are services that mix the currencies of several users, and that way you can try to increase your privacy. Search on Google."
"Yesterday I used a very good new mixing service, different from all the others we usually use. Search for 'new btc mix' and find out."
Of the three sentences, which are found in this rule?
